Either the car had been racing to beat the light from a distance, and had come too close to the intersection to come to a stop to the green that had turned into orange, and quickly to red, or the driver did not see the truck; it was too big to be seen.

People who are comfortable on two skis will straighten the front leg too early out of habit trying to "help" themselves out of the water.
The mistake most people make is that the try to straighten the front leg too soon and that grabs a ton of water beteen the ski and their body.

I used machined drive shafts to transmit power to the legs and also used purpose built gearboxes for the places where I needed tighter tolerances and had tighter space requirements.
The sensor systems include(s) every sensor known to robot builders as well as a few purpose built applications thrown in for good measure.
